Project Mobile Cosmodrome

Mobile Cosmodrome

Mazovia Cluster ICT offers a joint Poland-Ukrainian project on an airborne nano launch vehicle. It will provide a delivery of small satellites to orbits with an air-dropped launch vehicle. This project is dedicated for demanding customers who desire their spacecrafts to be integrated at a site of their preference and a launch to be performed for any application, to any orbit and at any time they choose.

A typical mission is straightforward:

a carrier plane with a launch vehicle flies to a customer’s airfield

an inflatable hangar with clean confinement facilities is deployed at a customer’s site

a spacecraft is mounted on a launch vehicle, which is then boarded back on the plane, and

the carrier plane flies to a launch point.

The system can boost a payload under 100 kg to a 700 km Sun Synchronous Orbit, and up to 220 kg to Low Earth Orbits. For interplanetary missions, it can deliver up to 40 kg to an Earth departure trajectory.
